Response:

For health reasons alone, unless you plan to breed, spaying is the way to go. Debbie

Response:

They may, and as it will be based on hormones, there isn’t much you can do except eventually keeping them separated.  It begins as an attempt to establish alpha bitch status, and if the lower bitch does not accept her position, then they will fight. When one or the other comes on heat they will scrap more, (as the lower bitch wants to become alpha so as to be the one who gets mated) or that maybe when the problems begin. If they do start to fight, then bitches are far worse than males, and they tend to inflict nastier damage. Then it becomes learned behaviour and separating them is the only way to stop it happening. Frankly, unless you have an excellent reason not to spay them, I’d spay them before they come into season. Regards, Judy

Hi everyone, I have a 7 month old female Yorkshire Terrier and just a few days ago we got a female Jack Russel Terrier puppy to keep each other company. I have read and understand all benifits regarding neutering my dogs. But, putting all those things aside, I would like to know if my two females living/sleeping/eating together will become "aggresive" towards each other later in life if NOT neutered. If so, are there any training methods to avoid this?
